what have you done today to make you feel proud?

i love this song and i needed it today - i ran my first hill. it was not as bad as i thought it would be and i kept a good average.

run: 3.3 miles || 38:09 || 11:33 miles/min

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
weekly total: 12.4

longest run so far

running is (dare i say it?) easier. my knees were starting to hurt towards the end, but the combo of walking and jogging made it tolerable. Also, best overall time so far.

run: 9.1 miles || 1:45 min || 11:36 mil/min

it's a first

i ran five miles without stopping - hooray for me!

run: 5:00 miles || 59:01 || 11:47 mil/min

i can do it

< panic >
there is always a moment when you begin to panic in training. am i training enough? will i finish? why isn't running getting any easier? yikesy!
< /panic >

today's run: 3.2 miles || 37:33 time || 11:44 miles/min

getting a restart

after taking a week off running, i got back in with some style. this morning i ran my best mile with a new workout format. i'm looking forward to challenging myself.

run: time (27:11) || avg pace: 11:17 min/mil || distance 2.40 miles
personal best mile: 11:02

my last couple of runs

hi there. today was a special day -- i ran nine miles and kept a pace lower than what i have been averaging. go me!

october 1: 3.03 miles || 36:26 time || 11:59 mile/min
october 4: 3.00 miles || 35:44 time || 11:54 mile/min
october 5: 9.00 miles || 01:45 time || 11:45 mile/min

i listened to u2's "numb" twice during the run. this is one of those songs i will have to memorize for the marathon!

do what you say

jlo's "let's get loud" was the highlight of my run :) i ran through upper park and half of lower park to get to the eight mile goal. yeeeee haw!
